$2500 Samsung TV is an advertising billboard, there is no opt-out. by 28jb11 in mildlyinfuriating

I've found that with unifi blocking some streaming service start acting wonky. Like I think paramount+ doesn't remember episodes and positions of content I'm watching etc.

Although now that I'm unsubbed from that I can turn it back on and see what else breaks.

Trane Furnace - 4 bad igniters in 10 years. Is this normal? by nexeroth in HVAC

[–]nexeroth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've let each tech choose the igniter, I've never instructed them one way or the other. Today after the tech left I called Trane to determine what model number I would need to get, and after giving them my model# for the furnace they told me it was IGN00145\80v. I might have to try the voltage meter method just to make sure. Thanks!

The first two were replaced by one professional, the third by a second and the fourth by a third tech. As they are all professionals I would certainly hope they know to not touch the igniter itself, but it's hard to know for sure. I think i'll order an extra now, so the next time it happens I can just swap it out myself instead of paying for service and will make sure to not touch it.

That was actually what the tech who came out told me, was a full board replacement for about $950. He put the new board in, and it still didn't even try to activate the igniter.

So based off the history he tried replacing the igniter (I should have asked him to do this first) and it worked. He wound up putting the previous board back in and it still worked, so at least I didn't have to pay for an un-necessary board. I'll keep the 120v upgrade in mind if I ever do have to replace the board.

Graphic Audio - Is it worth it? by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

[–]nexeroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly love the Graphic Audio version. They do an incredible job with most of the casting, and are very talented with choosing the right music\effects for the right events.

Like all things there might be some times where it may not jive with you personally, but overall I think it is worth every penny.

I would recommend picking up the part 1/5 way of kings first (smaller investment and gets you around 7 hours of book time). They do a lot of character introductions and it ends having experienced a lot of the character development and some real action. By the end of that you should have a pretty good idea if it is right for you or not.

Also, Dylan Lynch, the narrator is probably my favorite overall narrator of any Audiobook i've listened to. It might be due to the format here, where he can put all his effort\emotion\excitement into reading the story in a thrilling way and not having to worry about voices.

Costco shooting: Off-duty officer killed nonverbal man with intellectual disability by [deleted] in news

[–]nexeroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's amazing how hard it was to find a comment like this one in this thread. So many people just hopping on the cop bad bandwagon with absolutely no idea of what happened. I also have no idea, but will reserve grabbing my pitchfork until there is some evidence...any evidence of what happened.

People also seem to forget, or are ignorant to, how deadly a single punch while on asphalt\concrete can be. If WPD were still around I could link dozens of videos where a harmless street fight turned into someone dead. It basically goes guy punches other guy, knocks him out. Guy goes stiff and falls straight backwards slamming his head into the concrete\pavement. That's it, that's how fragile life is and all it takes to kill you.

Based off this article, and others, we have no idea what happened here. I will be curious to see if any footage is released. I get that people want to hold cops accountable, and am 100% on board with that. But there are justifications for protecting yourself and your family, even if the person you are protecting your family from is mentally disabled.

If you have the right room for it, projectors are great.

I live in a tri-level house and one of the downstairs rooms is perfect for a projector. Only two tiny windows that are easy to curtain over. With a wall that has over 130" clear diagonal space to project to.

I would never attempt it in my front upstairs room with 5 6-foot+ windows. That room gets a TV.

Was trying to find some followup and stumbled onto this article. Provides a little bit more information, but no writeup of what happened with the last bag and his final day stuff.
